Photography is about capturing souls, not smiles.

Iran

I took this shot of an Afghan worker in Yazd, Iran. The Afghan Immigrants in Iran can usually be found working on construction sites for less than a 2$ dollars per day. Unofficially Iran has the largest Afghani immigrant community in the world. They are being smuggled into the country in cars by Irani people who live near the border. I personally witnessed 20 Afghani immigrants getting off a car that was nearing a big police check point on the highway towards Isfahan from the south. My driver said that on average 2-3 immigrants are dying in the cars of suffocation. The people driven in the cars are usually laid down, one above another. On the bottom there are women, then men and on the top are the children.
